  • If you know how the graphics and sound on an Apple ][+ work, it's a miracle that games like this could even be accomplished. There was no dedicated graphic or sound chip like on the C64, everything had to go through the CPU, pixel for pixel. The sound was solely created by switching the speaker on and off in intervals.

  • @ninamaya

    This is nothing, actually. You should check out Castle Wolfenstein or Bilestoad on the Apple II. Wolfenstein had graphics and digitized sound. The digitized sound had a lot of static, but it sounded like discernable speech. Bilestoad had some impressive sound (for the technology) and complex sprite graphics. I always wondered why the Apple got some of the best games, since it had the worst hardware support. Popularity had something to do with it, I'm sure.

  • Ii can't stand people who disable ratings.

  • Alright. I enabled ratings on this one. A lot of the videos I put up are just trying to show bits of old games. Ratings didn't seem to fit well, because I wasn't trying hard to win them or anything.

  • How many levels? I don't know. I didn't see comments between levels. Don't know where you got that.

see all

  • my girlfriend googled "drol" out of boredom. In our language means "turd".

  • Drol and Bandits. Aik Beng was the man.

  • Oh WOW. Been a while since i've seen this game, and the first time ive seen it in color.

  • Icame so close getting level 3 done so I could see the 3rd cartoon. Was at the door and a leaping seahorse came out.

  • there were only three levels and when you got through those three the game was so hard it was virtually impossible to finish the fourth (a repeat of level 1)

  • Talk about a flashback.. I loved this game. Must find an emulator :)

  • Oh! How I used to play Droll on my green monitor!

    I do remember spending nights playing Mask of the Sun by Broderbund as well...
